Good afternoon all,

Every time I try to package projects and upload them onto the simulator nothing happens.  I think there is something wrong with my simulator since the Blackberry simulator crashes after a few minutes of being up saying there is a Microsoft C++ Runtime library error.  

I have tried running clean.bat
Manually deleting all the dmp files
loading .cod files via file -> import bb theme etc on the BB simulator
Nothing seems to work.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your time in advance

Edit: Forgot to mention that the error message with the Microsoft C++ Runtime library error is accompanied by the message: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way"

I would try to get the Simulator working before investigating anything else.

You are clearly having problems with the ones supplied with Eclipse.  So I would try downloading a separate one.  You can find them here:

One minor comment.  If running on Win 7 or above, I think the recommendation is to NOT install in the standard "Program Files" directory as this prevents the Simulator from updating files in directories that are located in there.  I usually install into a RIM directory - I am going to have to rename this now they are no longer called RIM!

Hey sorry for such the late response.  I have been very ill the past few days.  Currently, I have my simulator saved under my eclipse which is located under the local c but not under any programs.  Do you recommend me moving this?  Also I just upgraded to a windows 8 computer.  Does that give you a better idea of how I can handle this problem?

Oops, I opened this page a long time ago and it didn't update.  Didn't realize you responded twice.  Will try out your solution and let you know how it goes.  Thank you!

Hey Peter,

I am still getting the microsoft run time error.  I have done a clean boot and I have uninstalled reinstalled multiple times.  I tried both 64 and 32 bit and still no luck.  Any ideas?
